Hi, My name is Julie and this my first time to write anything on a Forum or whatever this is. Please forgive and teach me if I’m breaking some sort of etiquette on here. I am 51 years old and have Type III. I work full-time and then some and am married and have two adult children. It is assumed that my grandfather had SMA but he was never diagnosed. I have no other family that has it. I am ambulatory but mobility is declining. Or was. I am have had 3 of my loading doses. I am already seeing improvements! My stability while walking has improved and so has my speed. I have experienced several of the side-effects of the Spinraza but it’s worth it to see the improvements so clearly.
